I am going to have to try this buttermilk fried chicken recipe one day. It looks very good. I have always been told that I make excellent fried chicken by all who has eaten it. Mine is lemon pepper fried chicken. I am no chef of course and I always love to learn new things so I will try it. Thanks! Chef

"...and how often are you gonna make fried chicken? like once a year?.."
I laughed so hard. Once a year? That's hilarious. :P
